Tooth Bonding Questions

I have small cracks in my teeth. Can dental bonding fix those?

Dental bonding, also known as tooth bonding, is an effective, safe way to fill minor cracks and chips in your teeth.

Is tooth bonding obvious?

As a cosmetic procedure, tooth bonding is intended to correct minor imperfections in the most natural looking way possible. Tooth bonding is tooth colored, and with general oral maintenance, will look and feel natural for years to come.

Does tooth bonding offer structural support?

Tooth bonding can be used to correct issues that are both cosmetic and structural, such as:

  • Cracks
  • Uneven teeth
  • Small cavities

What's the difference between tooth bonding and porcelain veneers?

Tooth bonding is done with a composite resin, filling in small imperfections on your existing teeth. While porcelain veneers, which can be used to correct some of the same issues, cover your existing teeth entirely.

Is tooth bonding safe?

Tooth bonding is a safe, nontoxic, and quick way to correct minor aesthetic and functional issues with your teeth.
